Lemieux, Catherine M.
Journal of Addictions & Offender Counseling, v23 n1 p41-57 Oct 2002
The author examined correlates of social support among 101 offenders in corrections-based treatment programs. Respondents perceived high levels of support despite numerous interpersonal problems. Social support was significantly associated with visits, letters, arrests, and days in treatment. The author describes strategies for implementing family-oriented interventions in corrections-based programs. (Contains 67 references and 3 tables.) (Author)
